About the Show

The Cabaret kicks off its 2019 season with one of Broadway’s hottest stars. Tony Award-winner Gavin Creel will perform his interpretations of Broadway classics and share stories and songs from his prolific career during an intimate evening of music. Creel most recently starred in the Bette Midler-led revival of Hello, Dolly!, for which he won the Tony for Best Featured Actor in a Musical. He also earned Tony nominations for Thoroughly Modern Millie—where he played opposite Sutton Foster, the revival of Hair and She Loves Me. After touring as Elder Price in the national tour of The Book of Mormon in 2012, Creel led the musical in London (and earned a 2014 Olivier Award for it) before joining the Broadway company in 2015. He also played Bert in the West End’s Mary Poppins.
